Every night political activists daubed graffiti slogans on the wall. Every day the police scrubbed them away. After John Lennon's murder in 1980,this part of the wall belonging to the Knights of Malta became a work of art with a political touch overnight. The wall became a symbol of protest against the totalitarian regime. Today, some locals but mainly tourist still embellish it with graffiti, but the political tone is abscent. The John Lennon Wall is located on a leafy square close to Charles Bridge. Take metro line A to Malostransk� station or hop on tram 12,20,22 and get off at Malostransk� stop.
